The <br /> pahoehoe lava is very slowly permeable but water runs rapidly through the cracks. <br /> Runoff is medium and the erosion hazard is slight. <br /> The Hawai`i Right to Farm Act, HRS Chapter 165,was enacted to protect <br /> farming operations on land in the State Land Use Agricultural District when adjacent <br /> land is reclassified out of the Agricultural District.A condition of approval will require <br /> the applicant to notify prospective purchasers, tenants or lessees of the Hawaii Right to <br /> Farm Act. <br /> The reclassification of the 9.09-acre area from the Agricultural to Urban State <br /> Land Use designation will not be detrimental to the reduction of this area from the <br /> agricultural land inventory in the County of Hawaii. Furthermore, an Urban <br /> classification would complement the existing and future land use pattern of the <br /> surrounding area in view of the urban uses already in existence in close proximity to the <br /> subject property. <br /> Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the <br /> Agricultural to the Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and <br /> County General Plan and is supportive of the Hawaii State Plan. <br /> The accompanying draft bill to amend the State Land Use Boundary Map is provided for <br /> your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the <br /> draft bill. <br /> -6- <br />
